Over the last 2 years I've bought over 1300 DVDs (and blue rays) and over 600 CD's.

I've also got loads of retro games (from atari 2600 up to ps4) on cartridge and CD.

I want to own my own medi., I've seen too many examples of things being edited, censored or banned, and I want to have the original.

Plus, I don't have to deal with adverts, reduced quality, lack of internet or monthly charges. Most of the films and music I got came from charity shops for virtually free (some shops do 5 or 10 dvds for the equivalent of $1.

Most people think I'm insane :) but they can go do face scans to listen to their favorite metal album on Spotify, I'll carry on doing my thing :)

Buying physical medium and digitizing is good. It bothers me that much of my large book collection and movies and TV shows I have bough are on streaming services. If I stop paying every month and how ever much they decide they want now then I lose what I have "bought". Since I bought I feel no remorse if I find a digital copy in the usual places and download that.

As an extra bonus my thousands of books and hundreds of movies and series take up far less space and are easily backed up. I am doing this to my physical books bit by bit too. If I can't find a digital copy I am thinking of buying a reasonably decent scanner with good OCR.

Thousands of books.. That's one thing I don't have, I wish I had more books, but nowhere to keep them.
